In SQL Server you would write it as

if exists (select 1 from myTable where ClientStat = 'A')
your logic

but I believe this syntax is invalid for VFP.

>Hello!
>i have this form with two option groups so i use the two of them to help me formula a report
>name OG status and OG design both hav four option groups
>
>so my code is somethin like this

>Do case
>      case thisform.OGstatus.value=1
>                  Clientstat="A"
>      case thisform.OGstatus.value=2
>                  Clientstat="b"
>      case thisform.OGstatus.value=3
>                  Clientstat="c"
>      case thisform.OGstatus.value=4
>                  Clientstat="d"
>&&A,B,C and D being values in a table
>endcase 
>
>Case thisform.ogstatus.value<5 and thisform.ogdesign.value=1
>report form report1 for vclient.acc=clientstat preview
>
>Case thisform.ogstatus.value<5 and thisform.ogdesign.value=2
>report form report1 for vclient.acc=clientstat preview
>
>Case thisform.ogstatus.value<5 and thisform.ogdesign.value=3
>report form report1 for vclient.acc=clientstat preview
>
>Case thisform.ogstatus.value<5 and thisform.ogdesign.value=4
>report form report1 for vclient.acc=clientstat preview
>

>this works fine. but just that i cant think of a statement in the event there is no A,B C or D in the data base. SO if i select OGStatus and the table has no "A" the report only flashes :( im trying to think of a statment to stop that
